I wathced the ABC news with Jennings about this report and all they did was Bash Blair. It was disgusting. The first time in years I have watched ABC news.
How could there be such different reporting on the same story?
"These cells apparently intend to attack U.S. targets using car bombs and other weapons," the report said, noting that "it is also possible that they have received [chemical-biological] materials from terrorists in the [Kurdish Autonomous Zone]."
The report also said that "al Qaeda-associated terrorists continued to arrive in Baghdad in early March."
Outstanding article!
Thanks, kattracks.
Thanks for the link, Dog.
Chilling information in that transcript!
Not that you could ever get RAT imbeciles to understand logic that "complicated". Particularly in an election year.
Bush was right BUMP!
Dropped

What did he do? Bit his lip and dropped his drawers?
Wagged the Dog, of course.
We're excerpting The Washington Times now?
I can't get the page to load at WashTimes. I hate getting only the first part of the story on dial-up.
The progressice media in this country have morphed from Clinton apologists to Terrorist apologists. The far left is being corralled and played like a bunch of circus monkeys. Via the likes of Moore et. al., the far left now thinks that an 'evil cabal' within the US government has forced the jihadists to act so barbaric and mean. This hatred for the US and their neutrallity for the jihadists, is being nutured for some reason. Perhaps for something more sinister then just making a buck off the looney left.
One thing that's forgotten in all the WMD talk is that pre-9/11, Saddam had manipulated world opinion into thinking that the U.N. sanctions were killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, mainly children. As Clinton himself predicted in 1998, the world's will was weakening, sanctions were under fire, and Saddam appeared on the way to the end of sanctions and the end of inspections. Then he would have started up all over again, using the technology he had kept in place.
A newspaper in An Nasiriyah predicted the destruction of "two palaces" in America a few days before the 9/11 attacks.
There were at least three known attempts by Iraqis to obtain the Aimes strain of anthrax, a standard research request, and lobbying and donations to Porton Downs UK, two different requests there, one official and one under the table. All were denied.
Porton Downs is owned by Fuad al Hibry, who also owns Bioport, located in Lansing, Michigan, a company with 117 official complaints and reprimands, that, despite significant government funding and support, was unable to field a viable Anthrax vaccine over the course of several years of research.
Fuad al-Hibry also has extensive ties with the Saudi Bin Laden Group.
There are unclassified invoices showing that Iraq purchased materials to produce both the Bentonite and Silica anti static coatings for inhalable Anthrax particles.
Although the US military community claims that the drying technology necessary to produce small uniform particles for inhalable aerosols is "black", experts in the field scoff, due to the ease of obtaining orifice spray drying technology on the open market.
The FBI spent over two millions dollars and invested two years in attempting to produce high hang time Anthrax in a "backyard lab" environment. According to one FBI agent involved in the project, the resulting particles clumped together, were of widely varying sizes, and "flew like a penguin".
The known target list for 9/11 included the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, the White House, Congress, and British Parliament in the UK. The aircraft which hit the Pentagon initially headed directly for the White House at over 500 mph, and looped completely around the White House before impacting the Pentagon, according to the senior FAA controller on duty. The White House is notoriously difficult to spot from the air. After US flights were grounded, two different aircraft were found to have box cutters discarded after the passengers had disembarked. One would have to speculate on possible targets for these aircraft. The terrorists trained to fly the British plane met at Heathrow at 1pm local time to board a flight bound for Africa. By the time the aircraft was scheduled to take off, all overseas flights out of Britain had been cancelled. The delay between the first and second WTC attacks allowed the press to record the second impact.
The target list for the Anthrax attacks included the press, the White House, the Pentagon, Congress and the Senate, and the US Supreme Court.
All of the known anthrax mailings originated from cities in New Jersey. Mohammed Atta, leader of the 9/11 attacks, maintained safe houses in both New Jersey and Florida. The first known anthrax mailing was to a tabloid newspaper office in Florida.
In summer of 2001, Mohammed Atta was reported to have met with an Iraqi intelligence agent in Prague. Subsequent reports wavered back and forth as to whether this meeting actually took place, depending on who was being interviewed and when that person was being interviewed.
On or about October 17, a pleasure yacht was intercepted by the US Navy leaving port in Iraq. The yacht's bridge was "destroyed by fire from the US Navy" and the vessel returned to port. Both the US State Department and the Iraqi Foreign Ministry made public statements on this incident, which comprised the bulk of the one paragraph AP article.
On the following Friday, Bush flew to Beijing to meet with the Chinese President, in the course of "trade talks" regarding SE Asia, and at the last minute, Vladimir Putin decided to attend. At the same time Colin Powell was in India and Pakistan. After meeting with the heads of state for Russia, China, India and Pakistan, all nuclear powers, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld all issued statements to the global press, not about SE Asian trade, but that the US reserved the right to use all means at our disposal in retaliation for the possible use of "Weapons of Mass Destruction" against the United States. At this point in time, that phrase was not in common usage, instead it was considered "the deadliest code phrase in international diplomacy".
There were no known or suspected instances of Anthrax mailings after this date.
Two possibilities.
One, the relationship between Iraq, Al Qaeda and 9/11 (and Iraq's WMD whereabouts) will be published at a time of the Administration's choosing, between now and the November elections, or,
Two, a third (or more) nation has been implicated in the above relationships, and the requirements of operational security regarding future operations mandates this data remaining classified for the forseeable future.
Either of the above possibilities explains the Bush Administration's near total silence on the subjects of Iraq's WMD, Iraq's ties to AQ, and Iranian and/or Syrian acts of war in recent months. Few others do.
